Guess who figured out a way to use up some more of her zucchini stash…? Oh yeah, baby. A couple of weeks ago, I received my latest issue of Cooking Light magazine in the mail and happened to come across this recipe for Summer Squash and Ricotta Galette. I followed the recipe to a T,…

Suuuuuuure…don’t mind if I do! This morning after I finished training a couple clients, I had plans to meet up with Sarah and Mal for some bridesmaid dress fittings. Sooo exciting! As it turns out, the bridal store didn’t open until 11am and I really didn’t feel like going all the way back home from…

Where do I even begin? Seriously. I spent a good majority of my afternoon reading through each and every one of your incredible comments, often times smiling and tearing up simultaneously. The support you’ve all been sending me – via Twitter, email, phone, comments – is just mind blowing and I can’t thank you enough….

For the past couple of months, there’s been a post I’ve wanted to write. Ultimately, however, whenever I’ve tried to sit down and actually write it out, I either can’t find the words or I just have too sour of an outlook on the situation to truly get to the point I’m trying to get…

Just in case you were curious… source It’s National Hot Fudge Sundae Day. Mmmhmmm. Honestly, hot fudge isn’t really my thing…but give me a sundae with globs and globs of caramel and I am one happy camper. Ya know, Jay and I *do* have a softball game tonight…and now I’m thinking that this could be…

Awesome stuff has been happening around here today. Like this Cherry Almond Smoothie Bowl I had for lunch. Topped with plenty of Kashi Go Lean + Love Grown Foods granola.

Allllright…who’s ready to get sweaty?!? After putting out a call for new workout ideas yesterday, I noticed that many of you were looking for some cardio, some full body, and even some plyometrics. Sooo, I went ahead and combined them all into one, 30-minute workout. I actually did a variation of this a couple of…

All morning, I have been craving one of those cool, dreary, constant downpour type of mornings. You know what I mean? The ones that make you want to hangout in your cozies and curl up on the couch with a good book…those are always so great (as long as I don’t actually have to be…

Dinner tonight was awwwwwwesome. We still had quite a bit of our loaf of Italian bread left from this weekend’s Farmers Market trip, so rather than let it go bad, I decided to cook up a batch of homemade croutons. So quick and simple, too! To make a batch of Garlic & Parmesan Croutons: Cut…

It’s been a busy Monday morning and afternoon, thanks to my having to catch up on everything I didn’t get done over the weekend. Hey, it was worth it! My first stop of the day: Sephora. I could spend hours in that store, browsing, sampling, and just having a ball. But since I had other…
